  DISCIPLINE   Daniel 1:1-9   Devotional:- “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself” (V. 8) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DISCIPLINE Support Us Daniel 1:1-9 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com No matter what the enemy is doing to afflict a man, if he is disciplined, they will not overcome him. Discipline is the ability to subject or control oneself to do what is right, notwithstanding the situation or the challenges around. God cherishes people who can do this, and they will surely be delivered from the troubles.   Daniel was carried as a slave to Babylon, but he was not a slave in his mind. Many ar...

GROWING

 GROWING


Ephesians 4:9-16
Devotional:- “But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head of Christ” (V. 15)

God’s plan and desire is that we grow up. So many Christian today are growing older but not growing up. Many are stocked in perpetual spiritual infancy. This is because they never intend to grow. Spiritual growth is not automatic, it takes intentional commitment. You must want to grow, decide to grow, make an effort and persist in growing. Discipleship is the process of becoming like Christ (Matthew 10:25).

In your spiritual growth, God has a part and you have a part. To be Christ-like you will need to make Christ like choices and depend on the Holy Spirit to help you fulfill those choices. The moment you are ready, you will need to let go of some old routines and develop some new habits. You will need to intentionally change the way you are thinking (Philippians 2:12-13). To work out your salvation with fear and trembling means to take your spiritual growth serious. 

It is important to know that to change your life you must change the way you are thinking (Proverbs 4:23). You must deprogram and reprogram a new autopilot mind which help you to think the godly way (Romans 12:2). This is a mental shift call repentance. This mental shift demands you stop thinking immaturely and start thinking like Christ. To think maturely means start focusing on others and not yourself. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to choose to grow.
“CHRISTIAN MATURITY IS THINKING OF OTHERS AS JESUS WILL”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...
